Pepper spray can now be delivered from 150 feet away at 60-90 mph. It's getting to where you have to start behaving at protests stop going to protests if you don't want to get assaulted by douchebags on a power trip.

More accurate than you realize. They are trying to pass laws which will allow them to declare certain events (like economic summits) protest free zones in the name of "National Security".

Is the focus on the guy in the forground or the billboard in the background? Because while that looks like a police hat, the caption in the lower left says "Yachtsman." Captain's hat with a overly animated shiny spot, I guess?

More like stop being a worthless piece of shiat and do something productive with your life.

Just because the Nazi's pioneered something doesn't necessarily and inherently make it evil. They also pushed for rocket development, which has had some pretty handy peaceful civilian applications as well.

lololololololol

Any peaceful applications of the space program were PR campaigns to distract the general public and the world from the fact they were building systems to drop nuclear bombs from orbit on anyone in the world.

And it will continue to be so too. GPS? Civilians using military systems. Satellite phones? Military. Adaptive optics and night vision are also slowly trickling down into civilian hands.

Only by inherently evil uses of things can get you government funding. Good use of things only gets you civilian funding.

/by the way, the Nazi Vortex gun was one of the biggest wastes in a series of HUGE Wastes of money the Nazis spent on war-winning superweapons based on bad science and science fiction. It was used in one battle, and succeded in downing nothing.

Shadowknight:Coelacanth: You know who pioneered the development of vortex guns?

Nazis. They were meant for knocking planes out of the air.

The police might as well be issued flamethrowers for crowd control.

I know dude, but this is just overkill. I mean we're already using microwave and acoustic crowd control devices that can be used for acts of mass murder.

Gunpowder used to be pretty useless too until somebody thought of putting it into a closed container.

I am quite aware of the actual original uses of our every day technology. Much military and political posturing. The point is that the net worth of the technologies has come from civilian application, not military. Sure, it gave them dominance in one are or another at one point in time. But once it got down to ground level, it's made our lives infinitely better.

/those that survived that first stage of military development, of course

And don't even THINK about hiding on the moon."Buzz" Aldrin himself will KTFO you.

Considering the way the SOPA was struck down, It demonstrates that the need for a protest or riots are unnecessary.

We have the capability to protest without needing physical presence - The Internet. A great resounding NO from the entire nation would have a far more effective deterrence than protests that has 100 thousand individuals in attendance.
